I'm having DBD::Oracle permission issues on an NT 4.0 Server running IIS:

I have a script:

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; 

print "<HTML>\n"; print "<HEAD>\n"; 
print "<TITLE>test_db</TITLE>\n"; 
print "</HEAD>\n"; 
print "<BODY>\n"; 
print "<H4>Hello World</H4>\n"; 
use DBI;
use DBD::Oracle;
print "<p>DBI and DBD::Oracle loaded.</p>\n";
print "</BODY>\n"; 
print "</HTML>\n";
[download]

I get the following error when I try to allow anonymous access to this script, I get:

CGI Error

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete s
+et of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.dll' for module DB
+D::Oracle: load_file:Access is denied at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm li
+ne 200.
 at "PATH"\test_perl.pl line 9
Compilation failed in require at "PATH"\test_perl.pl line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at "PATH"\test_perl.pl line 9.
[download]

Where PATH is actual system path (sanitized).

When I force logins, everything works fine. I have changed permissions on my c:\Perl, c:\orant, and c:\winnt directories to be Everyone Full Control (it won't stay this way once we get this fixed.)

My only thought is that something, somewhere doesn't allow access to our anonymous user account, but I don't know where. I've checked all of the known places.

Any ideas?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
